Simple, pay them more money.

we have to admit that public school teachers are being paid LESS. during elections, they are being used to count the votes of all those who ran for election. their services have already been rendered with this risky job but they are being paid so late. we have a lot of excellent public teachers but it seems that our government is deaf and mute on their cry in the increase of their salaries. in america (kentuky, kansas, texas) our teachers are being offered an initial pay of 2,500-3000 dollars and this is a huge amount to help their poor families, the primary reason why they accept the offer and leave the country.

Maybe their pay is making them leave. Or maybe they simply think teaching abroad is exciting or is better then just teaching in a classroom. I think you should bring teachers in from somewhere else. Like the United States. We really do have great teachers here. It could be a special program. Fly a few teachers from the US to the Phillipines and she or he can teach you a year then fly back home. But you never know, a teacher might just decide to stay.

Raise the pay grade, and give them better benefits. I would love to come to the Philippines to teach or on vacation.
5 :
When the Philippine government and the public in general starts to regard the Filipino teacher with the value and respect we truly deserve, our best and brightest mentors will stay home to teach our little children. Until then, the Filipino teacher will always go where they are valued more.
